Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Yanghu Cave Heaven.

A figure swept across the sea, creating a long wave of air.

The figure was Jiang Ning.

In this celestial realm, he needed no restraint and could fly and traverse freely.

On the sea, gazing at the massive island in the distance, Jiang Ning's thoughts raced: "Once I achieve the Primordial Spirit realm, I will have truly entered the realm of Primordial Spirit Immortals, and with the highest-grade foundation of immortality. At that time, my soul will undergo a qualitative change, and with the power of the Primordial Spirit, I will be able to create my own world. I will undoubtedly master incredible supernatural abilities and methods, and my understanding of the rules of heaven and earth, martial arts techniques, and comprehension will all be significantly enhanced, propelling me to a completely new level. Facing Ji Xuan directly will then be much more reassuring."

"However, forging the Dao Embryo and transforming the Primordial Spirit is not something that can be accomplished in a day; it requires time to hone. Hopefully, things will be more stable in the capital during this period."

"However, Su Qingying is in the capital, so she should be safe."

A variety of thoughts flashed through his mind.

After a while.

He fell from the sky and landed on a lush island.

He found a rock wall covered with vines, and with a wave of his hand, he dug out a stone cave in the middle of the rock wall.

He plunged into the cave, and as the vines fell, he instantly blended completely into the island, leaving no trace of his presence.

now.

Jiang Ning appeared in a stone cave that was about ten feet wide and two feet high.

As the thick vines outside fell, the cave instantly became pitch black.

Even though he could already see the darkness as if it were daytime.

But having lived two lives, his long-standing habits still made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He knew that this was a basic human sense, a love of light and aversion to darkness.

He frowned and looked up at the sky above the cave.

Next time, count them off on your fingers.

whoosh-

whoosh-

whoosh-

Strengths of energy shot through the air.

In just a moment, five irregular holes appeared above the cave.

The opening, about the size of a finger, allowed five bright beams of light to shine through into the cave, instantly illuminating most of the interior.

"That's fine!" He nodded to himself.

Then he sat cross-legged in the cave and placed the purple bottle containing pure Yin energy and the gold bottle containing pure Yang energy in front of him.

After a long while, his mind returned to tranquility, and no more distracting thoughts arose in his heart.

This step is to forge the Yin-Yang Dao Embryo and achieve the status of a Yin-Yang Nine Mysterious Immortal.

Such a crucial step required him to be extremely careful.

Once he succeeds and achieves the primordial spirit realm, he can rival the old monsters in the blessed lands and grotto heavens.

Such as Qingyuan Daoren, and Xia Xuanyan, etc.

These are all ancient monsters that have lived for over a thousand years.

After the adjustment was completed, his spirit had already sunk deep into the depths of his mind.

The transmission techniques of Yin-Yang Dao Embryo flowed through his heart like a clear spring, each word a precious gem, echoing within him.

Every word and phrase contains the profound truth of the cycle of Yin and Yang, and the creation and destruction of life.

Even a simple recollection stirred a faint ripple in his heart.

call--

He slowly exhaled again, adjusted his breathing, and once again attained a state of clarity and tranquility.

Then, he raised his hands and placed them in front of him, simultaneously opening the jade bottle containing pure Yin and Yang energies.

"Om-"

As soon as the bottle was opened, an aura of extreme cold and an aura of extreme heat wafted out, dividing the stone cave into two distinct halves.

Purple mist swirled on the left, and the water vapor in the air instantly condensed into ice crystals that clung to the stone wall.

Golden light flowed on the right, scorching the air and causing it to distort slightly.

Although the two pure energies were of extreme attributes, they did not clash. Instead, under the guidance of Jiang Ning's spiritual senses, they began to slowly swirl and approach each other.

"Before Yin and Yang were separated, there was chaos like a chicken egg. Now I gather the two energies to forge the foundation of my Dao."

Jiang Ning silently recited the incantation in his mind. Within his spiritual platform, his divine sense, like an invisible hand, cautiously reached out, simultaneously absorbing a wisp of pure Yin purple energy and a wisp of pure Yang gold energy.

As soon as the two strands of air left the bottle, they seemed to tremble slightly as if they were sentient, causing the surrounding light to alternate between bright and dark.

He dared not be negligent. With his understanding and comprehension of the Yin-Yang Dao after perfecting the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword, he guided the two streams of energy to converge in the void three feet in front of him.

In the beginning, yin and yang repelled each other, and ripples spread throughout the space.

Jiang Ning held his breath and focused his mind, using his consciousness as a furnace and his will as fire, slowly harmonizing according to the "Yin-Yang Intercourse" secret method recorded in the Yin-Yang Dao Embryo.

He visualized the yin and yang of Tai Chi, with yin containing yang and yang containing yin, chasing each other and being fundamental to one another.

Time passed in silence. Inside the cave, only the purple-gold halo slowly rotated, collapsed, and condensed.

As time passed, Jiang Ning's forehead broke out in a fine sweat, his spiritual energy being greatly depleted.

When his vital energy declines to a certain level over time, his body suddenly bursts with vitality, like withered trees coming back to life and plants growing.

The silver tuna he had previously consumed, after being refined, had their essence stored in his cells instantly ignited like kindling, becoming nourishment for his physical recovery.

"Sure enough, without a mentor by your side, you'll inevitably stumble into many pitfalls!" At that moment, a fleeting thought filled with emotion flashed through his mind before being instantly dismissed.

A surge of boundless vitality instantly brought him back to his peak.

At dusk, day and night alternate.

Outside the cave, the sky was as dark as if it had been dyed with ink, and the night was thick and dark.

Darkness crept in through the gaps in the vines and along the stone cave, engulfing the cavern which was about ten feet in size.

However, inside the cave, as the purple and gold halo rotated, the darkness that had just rushed in was dispelled.

Back and forth.

A dark night passed.

As daylight appeared, white light shone through the five finger-sized holes above the cave, illuminating it.

At this moment, the purple-gold halo that was originally about a foot in size has been tempered to the size of a fist, shaped like a perfectly round pill. Its surface is radiant with color, and the purple and gold colors are no longer distinct and opposing, but rather blend together like water and milk, forming a profound and harmonious mysterious pattern that slowly flows.

At its core, a sense of chaos quietly emerged, as if it contained a miniature prototype of heaven and earth.

"When the Dao embryo is first formed, it should enter the spiritual platform, receive the nourishment of the divine soul, and undergo the nine mysteries of transformation."

With a thought, Jiang Ning sent the purple-gold Dao embryo into a stream of light that went straight into his brow and sank into the depths of his spiritual sea.

boom!
The moment the Dao embryo entered his body, Jiang Ning's whole body trembled violently.

Within his mind, it was as if a sun and a cold moon had been cast into his mind.

The sensations of extreme heat and extreme cold do not affect the physical body, but rather directly affect the origin of the soul.

On one side was the scorching heat that consumed everything, and on the other side was the bitter cold that froze the soul. The two extreme sensations erupted at the same time, almost tearing his consciousness apart.

He gritted his teeth, carefully maintaining a clear mind, and activated the methods within the Yin-Yang Dao embryo.

At this moment, the golden divine soul within the spiritual platform walked towards the purple-gold Dao embryo. With each step it took, the golden divine soul shrank a little.

The closer they got, the smaller the golden divine soul shrank.

But as the golden soul drew closer, the extreme cold and heat became increasingly terrifying, as if trying to freeze his soul or completely melt it.

"If I hadn't achieved the Yang God status, I probably would have been ignited long ago in front of this Dao embryo of purple and gold fusion!" he muttered to himself.

At this moment, the pressure and tempering he had endured on the Heavenly Ladder, the interplay of extreme cold and heat, had no real impact on his soul.

Before reaching the purple Dao embryo, the golden divine soul had shrunk to a size slightly smaller than a fist, only a little over an inch in size.

Then, the golden divine soul leaped into the Dao embryo where purple and gold intertwined.

The soul enters the womb, like returning to the mother's body, or like being thrown into a furnace.

The interior of the Dao Embryo is not a physical entity, but a chaotic and undeveloped scene. The purple and gold energies transform into countless fine rune chains, intertwining into a net that envelops the divine soul.

Jiang Ning felt that his soul and consciousness were undergoing a strange decomposition and reorganization.

Past knowledge, memories, and even understanding and insights into martial arts have all become blurred under the influence of Yin and Yang energies.

Nourished by that chaotic essence, it re-condensed, becoming purer, more refined, and more transparent.

This is the first transformation of the Nine Mysteries.

The pure Yin energy washes away impurities from the soul, while the pure Yang fire tempers its superficiality. Through the harmonious interaction of Yin and Yang, the essence of the soul undergoes its first sublimation.

Pain and enlightenment intertwine at this moment.

Jiang Ning's soul was sometimes frozen inside the Dao Embryo, and his thoughts became stagnant.

Sometimes it felt like being roasted, and my mind was boiling.

After an unknown amount of time, the first transformation was completed.

His soul had visibly shrunk, but it was more solid, emitting a faint jade-like luster, and his perception of the Yin-Yang Dao was several times clearer.

Then, a thought crossed his mind.

Suddenly, a purple light and a golden light rose from the jade bottle containing yin and yang energies placed in front of him, converging towards his brow.

It was only for a fleeting moment.

The purple and gold rays disappeared from his brow and appeared in his spiritual center.

As two pure Yin and Yang energies appeared in the spiritual platform.

My mind jolted slightly.

Two streams of pure Yin and Yang energy swept across the spiritual platform and entered the purple Dao embryo.

Then, the second change begins.

Two streams of pure purple-gold energy were poured in, and the purple-gold rune chains within the Dao embryo tightened, refining the soul like forging divine iron.

Each blow was accompanied by immense pain.

But it also imprints more of the Yin-Yang principle into the depths of one's soul.

Jiang Ning's soul adapted continuously during the tempering process, absorbing the characteristics of Yin and Yang energies, and gradually became able to resonate more strongly with the Yin and Yang energies of the outside world.

The third transformation is the "Transformation of Emptiness and Profound Mystery"... The fourth transformation is the "Transformation of Spiritual Nourishment"...

The Nine Transformations are increasingly difficult, with each transformation more challenging than the last, and the tests on the soul increase exponentially.

Each transformation required Jiang Ning to persevere with immense willpower and possess a profound foundation of spiritual strength.

It is also supported by a profound understanding of the principles of Yin and Yang.

Actively perceiving, embracing, and accepting the transformative power of Yin and Yang is the key to success.

Outside the cave, the sun and moon alternate.
Inside the cave, Jiang Ning stood as still as a rock, his breath sometimes like a volcano about to erupt, sometimes like a deep, silent abyss.

His body surface was adorned with alternating patterns of pale gold and deep purple.
Above his head, a faint, illusory image of a miniature Tai Chi symbol formed by Yin and Yang energies slowly rotated, echoing the changes in the Dao embryo within his spiritual platform.

At this moment, the ninth transformation, "The Transformation of Returning to Truth," has been completely completed.

Finally, the two purest yin and yang energies merged into his spiritual platform.

The Dao embryo in the spiritual platform was no longer the size of a fist at this moment, but had shrunk to the size of a pigeon egg.

The purple and gold energies merged into chaotic light, and Jiang's soul had become one with the Dao embryo.

The Dao embryo resembles a primordial egg, enveloped in the ever-flowing Yin-Yang light, its inner life force surging and boundless, like a miniature embryo of heaven and earth quietly gestating deep within the spiritual realm.

Jiang Ning's mind was clear, and he sensed that the ninth transformation had reached its perfection.

This signifies the successful completion of the Yin-Yang Dao Embryo. All that remains is to continue nurturing the Dao Embryo until it naturally matures, at which point the primordial spirit can break free and fully establish the foundation for becoming a Supreme Immortal of the Nine Mysteries of Yin and Yang.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and, following the method, sank the last bit of his mind into the Dao Embryo, guiding the chaotic light to slowly recede inward, so that the Dao Embryo was completely stabilized in the center of his spiritual platform.

Inside the stone cave, the strange phenomena surrounding Jiang Ning gradually disappeared, the interlaced purple-gold patterns on his body vanished, and the illusory Tai Chi symbol above his head also disappeared without a trace.

But his aura became increasingly unfathomable, as if it had achieved some kind of harmonious resonance with the yin and yang rhythm of this grotto world.

Even with his eyes closed and sitting still, he could sense the pure Yang energy emanating from the sun above Yang Lake, as well as the pure Yin power flowing in the Yin River at the bottom of the sea.

"The Dao embryo has been formed; the primordial spirit is only a matter of time before it is conceived," Jiang Ning realized.

According to the tradition, one must then nurture the Dao embryo day and night for a period ranging from a few days to more than a month.

Once the life force within the Dao embryo has accumulated to its fullest extent, it will naturally sense the laws of heaven and earth and unleash the mysterious patterns.

At that time, the natal spirit will break free from the womb, and one can step into the realm of primordial spirit immortals, known as the "Yin Yang Nine Mysterious Immortal".

He slowly opened his eyes, a fleeting, chaotic light flashing within them. Although
Although the primordial spirit has not yet been fully formed, the spiritual platform has become incredibly clear and open due to the existence of the Dao embryo, and the understanding of yin and yang, time and space, and even the birth and death of all things has been elevated to a completely new level.

Even the efficiency of condensing divine power within the body was subtly accelerated due to the sublimation of the divine soul.

At this moment, his thoughts were unleashed, and this world could no longer restrain his mind; the entire island was suddenly enveloped by his consciousness.

The entire island unfolded in his mind.

Every flower, every blade of grass, every tree, and every stone is crystal clear.

He saw all sorts of rare and precious materials, and the convergence of the essence of the great sun.

At the same time, the seawater could not obstruct his mind. The silver tuna swimming in the sea, and even the unfathomable purple dark river, were all reflected in his new mind with exquisite detail.

He looked up at the sky.

In the darkness, he sensed the will of the grotto-heaven that was raised high above the dome.

It is the will born from this world.

It is also the master of this world.

"Such a transformation can occur from such a simple achievement. I wonder what kind of supernatural powers one will possess after emerging from the womb and fully attaining the status of a Yin-Yang Nine Profound Immortal!"

His heart was suddenly filled with anticipation.

Then, he looked towards the outside of the cave, his heart filled with fervor.

The entire island, every blade of grass and every tree, was imprinted in his mind.

This means that all those rare and precious materials belong to him; he can simply walk over and take them without anyone competing with him.

This alone made him incredibly excited.

This represents a significant influx of source points.

Moreover, the natural treasures here are exposed to the sun for ten days a year, and over the years, they have accumulated a massive amount of the sun's essence.

He refined this essence of the great sun, which tempered his internal organs and greatly benefited his internal alchemy cultivation, significantly shortening his accumulation process. (End of Chapter)
